Editing Soundwave (Transformers) (section)

===Other appearances===
A parody of the ''Generation 1'' Transformers was aired in the December 23, 2008 episode of ''[[Frank TV]]'', called "Frank the Halls". In the story, Optimus Prime and his Autobots ([[Bumblebee (Transformers)|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (Transformers)|Jazz]] and Wheeljack) battle Megatron and his Decepticons (Soundwave and Starscream) when Optimus runs out of gas. Optimus becomes enraged at the price of gas, steals the fuel from the annoying hybrid Autobot [[Prius]] Maximus, then joins the Decepticons in destroying the city.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://doinkamation.blogspot.com/2008/12/transformers-satire-for-franktv.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708033321/http://doinkamation.blogspot.com/2008/12/transformers-satire-for-franktv.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-07-08 |title=Animation Corner: Transformers Satire For FrankTV |publisher=Doinkamation.blogspot.com |date=2008-12-03 |access-date=2010-04-27 }}</ref>

Soundwave appears in the ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' episode "Toy Meets Girl", voiced by [[Seth Green]]. He is portrayed as having retired from the Decepticon army and obtained honest employment as a transformable [[portable toilet]]. [[Frank Welker]] reprises his role of Soundwave (as well as Megatron but not Rumble) when he appears again in another ''Robot Chicken'' episode "Werewolf vs. Unicorn" where in the current years it's revealed that because the [[audio cassette tape]] and [[cassette player]]s have long become obsolete and therefore no longer widely used, his spy tactics now do not work (the people who discovered him in the skit were laughing at his [[mixtape]] which was Rumble being killed by them puling his tape out). He is later found by [[Megatron (Transformers)|Megatron]] and [[Shockwave (Transformers)|Shockwave]] to be on sale on [[eBay]] with options to place a bid for 500 dollars or "Buy it now" for 1000 dollars, whereupon Shockwave exclaims "''Request permission to buy it now!''" The Commemorative Soundwave figure was used in "Werewolf vs. Unicorn".

Soundwave made a cameo appearance in the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "[[The Courtship of Stewie's Father]]" as [[Peter Griffin|Peter's]] new supervisor. In it, Soundwave releases a framed photograph from his cassette deck cavity, of himself and a human woman named Denise, who Soundwave proclaims is his wife, whom he met in a [[Christianity|Christian]] [[chat room]].<ref>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927174616/http://www.tfw2005.com/news/data/upimages/1132547698.jpg|archive-date=September 27, 2007|url=http://www.tfw2005.com/news/data/upimages/1132547698.jpg|title=Soundwave cameo on Family Guy|publisher=www.tfw2005.com|access-date=November 16, 2015}}</ref> Soundwave also appears in the ''[[Sealab 2021]]'' episode "[[List of Sealab 2021 episodes|Hail, Squishface]]" as a toy on an Asian girl's cart, who sells Capt. Murphy Gloop, from the show ''[[The Herculoids]]''.

A music video featuring Soundwave and a robot similar to Rumble and Frenzy named Lazer (though purely white in colour) breakdancing has surfaced throughout the Internet since 2000. The video contains audio clips from both the animated series and ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' alongside music.

In 2007, shortly before the release of the live-action [[Transformers (film)|''Transformers'' film]], Soundwave appeared in the viral comedy short "Soundwave: The Touch."
